A little village cottage with an old forge!

New on the market and sooooo interesting! This very sweet little cottage is situated in a small hamlet between Souillac and Gourdon in the LOT.

What a cute little place! It is stone built, and actually has a surface of 85m2. Ok, so it's a little old inside but because of it's size, it really will not take too much work to make this into a very nice little place. Central heating has already been installed. The price is certainly very competative for a little house in this neck of the woods. It presently has 1 bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and lounge. There is also an attic that could be converted.

There is garden on all sides measuring 1200m2 in total. Attached to one side is a large garage of 33m2. Also there is a full basement of 54m2.

Now for the part I really enjoyed! There is an old forge, inlcuded! It was obviously only a very small local one, however, all the parts are still inside... so interesting to see all the old bits and pieces. Even the old stall for keeping the horses in place whilst being shod is still present! Not sure what you would do with this building - but you would be able to say you own the old village forge!!!
